I agree about most people being a mixture, but it's just that DW's history of violence isn't easy to set aside. I actually do give him credit for having had a job for a while. I don't know his work history, only what was reported about his attitude while at AIW and that SS tried to help him keep his job by moving him. He eventually had to fire him. How much he made vs JW - who cares? That has nothing to do with work ethic, morals, criminal activity.
What "bad" is there to see in JW at this point? He lied to police? That's "bad"? It's not wise, but it doesn't make him a bad person or even qualify as anything other than unwise.
My personal reason for not making fun of JW is that I think it's not nice because he's not been named a suspect by LE. He hasn't been cleared either, but all he's done so far is lie to police. Not wise, but not criminal.
I just keep going back to the thought that what if it was me, inadvertently caught up in something of this magnitude that made the news and people did their damnest to dig up every little bit of real-life me to make fun of. It's just mean-spirited, embarrassing and the humiliating critiques of a human being who so far, is innocent. :/
I'd be horrified. It can be embarrassing to discover things about yourself in therapy, I can't imagine anonymous, armchair diagnosing lay people giving their opinions on my personality, behavior, lifestyle, ego.
On the other hand, I have absolutely no problem making fun of DW. Yes, I see my hypocrisy. My pathetic justification to myself is that DW is not just "a good guy who hung around with the wrong crowd, or a good guy who made some bad choices" btw: I HATE when people use the term "made MISTAKES" when referring to conscious and repeated acts of crime and violence. He's been a for years. I don't care if he volunteered in soup kitchens and nursed orphan puppies between bouts of beating and stabbing people, that doesn't make him even partway "good". There are no redeeming qualities in someone who takes what they want and does what they want at the expense of another human being and lives. He shows a complete disregard for life, laws and human decency. He's a slug. HE's the legend in his own mind, not JW.
I don't know, maybe JWs got a tough hide or doesn't care. I certainly hope that's the case.
I can't get past the idea that if he knew about the 40k and gave info to DW, then that would mean JW premeditated kidnap since that's the only way I could see someone getting that money from SS. On second thought, why not just stage a robbery of JW (and SS if being driven by JW) after they picked up the 40k while on his way to the dojo as planned? There are other ways that this could have gone down to not include kidnap and murder.
If JW was involved in any way, dw would have most certainly already given him up and JW'd be in custody. DW has nothing to lose at this point, so I don't think he'd hesitate to nail JW if involved. The only thing DW might have to fear is gang members for naming names if they exist.
BBM. Lying to federal investigators is not wise because it is a crime. This murder/arson is being investigated by a team that includes federal investigators. By telling these lies and admitting it, he has made himself a suspect even though he hasn't been officially named a suspect.
